Tires rubbing on bumb stops I have some 315's on my 17X11's ZR1's and just noticed that upon install once again that the rim and tire are rubbing up against the bumstops brackets. My bumb stops are removed because the rubber was seperating from the actual bracket and now I noticed that the actual nut plate area where the bumb stops mount is touching, although my rear suspension is just hanging fully in the air on some jack stands, Would putting it back on the ground eliminate my problem? I might take that chance of hitting the brackets if I launch hard or something possible, right? Would it be dumb to cut these off? I'm getting some 15X10 race stars here shortly and will be running 325/50R15's. So I would imagine that these tires will be rubbing as well. Should I just heat it up with a torch and then beat them in some or cut them off. Anyone else have this problem and if so what did you all do?
